Silver Engraving Practice Plate, 2 ¼” by 3 ¾”. Engraved on both sides in different fonts with the alphabet, both lower case and upper case, and script and block style. Also, a set of script and block style numbers 0 through 9. One side also has a partial border with flourishes and plants. Engraved inside two of the flourishes is the year 1894, no doubt the year this was made. One of the nicest examples we have encountered, only equaled or surpassed by the following lot.From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection.
